About
Monroe's Bear Creek Golf Club is situated in the heart of Walton County. It's less than an hour from Atlanta, making it a conveniently close getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. The course originally opened in 1990 but in 2008 it changed ownership and underwent a major renovation that elevated its conditions to rival that of any of the area's best golf courses. The bunkers were rebuilt and re-sanded and the fairways were re-conditioned. Bear Creek G.C. has always been known for its excellent greens, which have a reputation for being some of the state's finest putting surfaces. The layout measures 6,585 yards from the back tees, which may seem short but there are some ups and downs throughout that will make it feel much longer.

Good value
Able to play with rain during that time. They’ve done some good work to course. Good condition.
Cart & Cart Path
I played here last year and the cart path is still horrible!
Just like last year, waited for a for a golf cart as they were "short" because the carts are trash!
When the young gentlemen pulled up, I should have said I want a different cart - it sounded horrible and my instinct was correct as the cart dies in the middle of #10. Also, there was a dead cart already on #1.
3 star
Decent if in a pinch. Better conditions/options for same price range around the area. Also keep in mind for Dads out there, they charged 25$ for my kid to ride along with me even though we only had a 3some using 2 carts.
Ok course for the money
Liked most of the holes, pace of pay was not bad, and the staff was nice. On the downside, a good portion of the cart path was very rough and there was not enough signage. No hole marker to find the 13th tee and we never did find hole #16. It seems like it would be fairly inexpensive to have better signage.
Never Again
It’s like playing Pine Hills in winder but double the price. They have a beverage cart but the last two time playing I only saw it after the 14th hole. Don’t waste your time or money.
Unfriendly staff….profiling?
The older gentleman was very rude and spoke to my party of four like we were children. One person in my party said this was always the encounter when he is behind the counter. His facial expression was one of tell us we were in the place not knowing one of the members was in our foursome.
Bumpy road
While the greens were for the most part in good shape, the cart paths were a mix of dirt, asphalt and pot holes. Mostly pot holes and washed out paths. Some of the holes were just dumb. Course layout was a mess. No grass. Do not recommend.
Great course rough cart paths
Golf course was in great shape and I loved the layout but holy cow those cart paths are in shambles. That being my only complaint though id definitely come back
Not great
Super slow on a Sunday afternoon and very limited availability of carts. The course has a weird layout on the back nine and signage is limited making navigation from hole to hole confusing and precarious.
Management Problem
Course does not have enough working golf carts. Also, there was a problem allowing some of the few carts to be used by golf group viewers (non-players).
I waited 1 hour past my reserved tee time for a cart. The staff was overwhelmed and there was lack of ranger duty utilized. Fairways dry like others in the area. Playing conditions OK.
Always has a spot open
They over book every time, backed up out the door. The carts are in very poor shape as are the cart paths. Somehow, during this drought, the greens were actually good.
What a Goat Track
Will just list notes
- no rental clubs. Reason given was people steal them so they do not provide them anymore. Poor excuse. Figure it out you are in the golf course business.
- poor signage. Several holes had no numbers. We ended up going the wrong way several times.
- patchy.
Would not recommend this one unless they fix some things
